What is the applicable statute of limitations for tolling claims?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Franklin v. Cnty. of Placer, No. 2:17-cv-2277-JAM-EFB PS (E.D. Cal. 2018):

Furthermore, all of plaintiff's claims appear to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. "For actions under 42 U.S.C. 1983, courts apply the forum state's statute of limitations for personal injury actions, along with the forum state's law regarding tolling, including equitable tolling, except to the extent any of these laws is inconsistent with federal law." Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 927 (9th Cir. 2004). Under California law, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is two years. Butler v. Nat'l Cmty. Renaissance of Cal., 766 F.3d 1191, 1198 (9th Cir. 2014).
